Brentwood's Ward

4.5 stars
In this story, featuring a Bow Street Officer and a privileged young lady in Regency England, lives are at stake and fortunes come and go in the blink of an eye...
Emily is determined to marry the most eligible bachelor of the season and loves nothing more than her pug Alf and her wardrobe full of bonnets and hats. She's headstrong and impulsive, and her father cannot control her whims.
When Nicholas Brentwood is assigned as her temporary guardian, sparks are sure to fly.

I loved the fresh take on a Regency-era setting and the perspective on the Bow Street force.

16+ for some intense kissing near the end and a scene of attempted rape and a discussion of past rape resulting a woman's pregnancy.
